See that /etc/locales.build has "de_DE.UTF-8/UTF-8" in it, and put LC_ALL="de_DE.UTF-8/UTF-8" into /etc/env.d/02locale (you may need to create it), env-update and relogin. Substitude de_DE for en_US if you don't want German translations. Also, next time, please consult the manual, the other docs on gentoo.org gentoo-wiki.com first ;) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
